Got OSPF?

OSPF

I am so excited to reach the OSPF part of this journey through routing and switching at CBT Nuggets! The course will show up on Monday 5/23/2016 with the first couple of Nuggets complete. This course is part of a massive series covering some of the most critical routing and switching topics:

  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – Layer 2
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – Layer 2 Security
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – OSPF 
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – IS-IS
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – BGP
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – Protocol Independent Routing; Tunnels
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343) – High Availability

Let’s face it – its not like the Layer 2 stuff was not fun, but OSPF gives us an opportunity to have some really interesting demonstrations and discussions.

Topics in this course will include:

  • Identify the concepts, operation and functionality of OSPF
    • Link-state database
    • OSPF packet types
    • Router ID
    • Adjacencies and neighbors
    • Designated router (DR) and backup designated router (BDR)
    • OSPF area and router types
    • LSA packet types
  • Demonstrate knowledge of how to configure, monitor and troubleshoot OSPF
    • Areas, interfaces and neighbors
    • Additional basic options
    • Routing policy application
    • Troubleshooting tools
  • Realms

Are you ready for a deeper dive with OSPF than ever before? Join me in this self-paced training event!

Seven New Courses in Routing and Switching Coming from CBT Nuggets

CCIE R&S, CCNA R&S, CCNP, General Technology, Juniper, ,

Routing and Switching

Overview:

I was thrilled to be tasked with creating new Nuggets on the topic of Enterprise Routing and Switching for Juniper networks. I quickly decided on two important approaches for this new training. First, I decided to break the topic up into seven courses so that I could really go into great detail. Second, I decided to separate these Nuggets clearly on theory, then Juniper specific stuff. This will be great for Cisco, Arista, HP, and other students that want to learn these important technologies, but could care very little for how specifics are carried out on Juniper gear.

The New Routing and Switching Courses:

Here is the breakdown of the new courses:

  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- Layer 2
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- Layer 2 Security
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- OSPF
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- IS-IS
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- BGP
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- Protocol Independent Routing; Tunnels
  • JNCIS-ENT(JN0-343)- High Availability

So have you been longing for more training in some of these areas??? IS-IS perhaps??? These courses are really going to blow you away in their level of coverage, and overall approach.

The First Course – Layer 2:

What minimum topics list will we cover in the exciting first course on Layer 2 technologies? Check it out:

  • Identify the concepts, operation, and functionality of Layer 2 switching
  • Identify the concepts, benefits, and functionality of VLANs
  • Demonstrate knowledge of how to configure, monitor and troubleshoot Layer 2 switching and VLANs
  • Identify the concepts, benefits, operation, and functionality of the Spanning Tree Protocol
  • Demonstrate knowledge of how to configure and monitor STP and RSTP

Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to boost your knowledge of core routing and switching topics!
